Our family had an amazing time with our guide Ronnie. He gave us a personalized experience away from crowds which allowed us to observe them closely. Ronnie also brought fruit so that we could feed the orangutans. He was a great guide and gave us lots of suggestions for things to do and to eat near us.

I had a very nice well organised private tour with Eng driver/guide. He was fun and very easy to talk to. Gave me lots of great insight into Penang and Malaysia while driving to the Island. The Orangutang Island was very nice to visit so good to get close to and feed the Orangutangs in a protected area.
